Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 31Fluoroacrylate-Aromatic Acrylate Copolymers for Viscosity Enhancement of Carbon Dioxide(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Kılıç, Sevgi; Enick, Robert M.; Beckman, Eric J.The effect of the structure of aromatic acrylate-fluoroacrylate copolymers on CO2 viscosity at elevated pressures was investigated. These copolymers were all found to be miscible with CO2 at pressures between 10-15 MPa (295 K) and induce an increase in the viscosity to some degree. It appears that stacking of aromatic rings is the key factor in viscosity enhancement. The results showed that viscosity of the solution increases with the increasing content of the aromatic acrylate unit in the copolymer, but a point is reached beyond which additional comonomer causes the relative viscosity to drop, suggesting that the aromatic rings associate through intramolecular rather than intermolecular interactions beyond the optimum value. The most effective CO2 thickener identified in this study was the 29% phenyl acrylate-71% fluoroacrylate copolymer. However, the presence of a spacer (methyl or ethyl) between the backbone and the aromatic group substantially diminished the viscosity enhancement.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Adsorption Characteristics of Lead-, Barium- and Hydrogen-Rich Clinoptilolite Mineral(SAGE Publications Inc., 2003) Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher Fehime; Ülkü, SemraThe carbon dioxide and water vapour adsorption properties of local clinoptilolite-rich material, both as the original and as lead-, barium- and hydrogen-rich forms, were examined. The lead- and barium-rich forms were prepared by treatment of the original clinoptilolite with Pb(NO3)2 and BaCl2 respectively, while the hydrogen-rich form was prepared by NH4Cl and heat treatment. Water and CO2 adsorption experiments were conducted in a volumetric system under static conditions, with low-pressure adsorption data being used for the characterization of the natural, Pb-rich, Ba-rich and H-rich clinoptilolite samples. Although the existence of barium-exchange was not noted, an appreciable decrease in CO2 adsorption was observed with the Pb-rich and H-rich forms due to a decrease in the electrostatic interaction between the surface and the adsorbate. Application of the Dubinin-Astakhov equation to the water adsorption data established the existence of micropores of different sizes that exhibited different adsorption mechanisms.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 29Dynamic Nature of Supercritical Co2 Adsorption on Coals(Springer Verlag, 2017) Özdemir, EkremAdsorption on non-rigid solids was shown to be a dynamic process. Excess adsorption and desorption isotherms of CO2 on eight Argonne Premium coal samples were measured at 55 °C and pressures up to 14 MPa by manometric method. The excess adsorption isotherms of CO2 on powdered coals showed almost Langmuir-like to rectilinear shape behavior at low pressures up to 9 MPa, and it increased noticeably at pressures higher than 9 MPa. There was a significant hysteresis between the excess adsorption and desorption isotherms for each rank of coals, which was related to the volumetric uncertainties occurring during the adsorption isotherm measurements. The parameters related to the adsorption capacity and micro porous characteristics of the coal were obtained at different pressure ranges by fitting the experimental data to the modified Dubinin-Astakhov (D-A) equation at the increasingly larger pressure ranges, using only the first 4 data points of the excess adsorption isotherm initially, and progressively using additional data points for the subsequent values. It was shown that the curve fit parameters vary with pressure, and therefore, concluded that the adsorption on non-rigid solids such as CO2 on coal is indeed a dynamic process. It was suggested that new adsorption isotherm equations need to be developed considering the dynamic nature of the adsorption on solid adsorbents.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rice-Like Hollow Nano-Caco3 Synthesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremWe have shown that Ca(OH)2 solution is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3 particles. We designed a CO2 bubbling crystallization reactor to produce nano-CaCO3 particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. In the experimental set-up, the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The produced nanoparticles were removed from the crystallization region into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. It was shown that rice-like hollow nano-CaCO3 particles in about 250 nm in size were produced with almost monodispersed size distribution. The particles started to dissolve through their edges as CO2 bubbles were injected, which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores were closed as a result of dissolution-recrystallization of the newly synthesized CaCO3 particles. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. The present methodology can be used in drug encapsulation into inorganic CaCO3 particles for cancer treatment with some modifications.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 22Exposure To Particulate Matter in a Mosque(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Ocak, Yılmaz; Kılıçvuran, Akın; Eren, Aykut Balkan; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Sofuoğlu, Sait CemilIndoor air quality in mosques during prayers may be of concern for sensitive/susceptible sub-groups of the population. However, no indoor air pollutant levels of potentially toxic agents in mosques have been reported in the literature. This study measured PM concentrations in a mosque on Friday when the mid-day prayer always receives high attendance. Particle number and CO 2 concentrations were measured on nine sampling days in three different campaigns before, during, and after prayer under three different cleaning schedules: vacuuming a week before, a day before, and on the morning of the prayer. In addition, daily PM 2.5 concentrations were measured. Number concentrations in 0.5-1.0, 1.0-5.0, and>5.0μm diameter size ranges were monitored. In all campaigns the maximum number concentrations were observed on the most crowded days. The lowest number concentrations occurred when vacuuming was performed a day before the prayer day in two of the three size ranges considered. PM 2.5 concentrations (four-hour samples that integrated before, during, and after the prayer) were comparable to the other indoor environments reported in the literature. CO 2 concentrations suggested that ventilation was not sufficient in the mosque during the prayers. The results showed that better ventilation, a preventive cleaning strategy, and a more detailed study are needed.
